Completely unrelated, but reading "FreeAgent" just now released a core memory for me of reading USENET in the 90s with the free version of Forte Agent. This site has the 16-color image that IIRC was the basis of the icon for Free Agent: http://www.diginfoserv.com/agent.html .. I think the icon was just zoomed in on the lady at the table?

edit: wow, of course there was a 16 bit version available:

> Agent is fully supported by the Agent Support Team and is available in 16 bit and 32 bit versions.

Wow, I haven't thought about that application in a long time! I used Forte Agent to read USENET in the '90s and met my first girlfriend on there.
